As an IAS officer, my time at the IAS Civil Services Academy was transformative, instilling a strong sense of responsibility and commitment towards the nation and its people. The training and mentorship prepared me to serve with integrity, empathy, and dedication. I am indebted to the academy for providing me with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate the complexities of public service. The lessons and bonds forged during my time there will continue to guide me throughout my career as an IAS officer.
